Several months ago, we released role-based camera permissions, allowing organizations to use SAML/SSO to create camera user roles. With this new update, SAML users can now have multiple camera roles applied to them, as well as a single Network or Organization Amin role. This allows you to simplify your deployment of SAML/SSO by combining the roles that matter most for each user.
This means that if you have a role for Security and a role for Facilities, you don’t have to create a third role to combine the two for a user that is a part of both. Simply assign that user both roles in their SAML role attribute and they will inherit the most permissive rights from each role.
Similarly, Network Administrators can have access to the Meraki Networks with their networking appliances while also having camera viewing permissions for select MDF/IDF cameras inside of your video security Network.
We’re excited to bring these additional capabilities to our users to improve, simplify, and secure the management of camera permissions across a variety of locations and user personas. We would love to hear what you think!
For information on configuring camera roles, please see the Restricting Access to Cameras article in documentation.
